Interviews

Taurus Scott is man doing what I know so many of us out here hope to be doing one day, eating off his art like a fucking kitchen table! Besides being a sought-after DJ, he's a producer for Hellfyre Club, SMOG Records, the Low End Theory-affiliated, Alpha Pup.
That's a resume that'd get you hired at the musical equivalent of Goldman-Sachs, except Taurus ain't...

Every so often, old hip hop heads get bored with what's going on in da rapz world. There's too many 2 Chainz or Drake knock offs. We get lost in what's supposed to be cool and force ourselves to listen to the new kids on the block. We try to jam out on every new critically acclaimed Pitchfork album, hoping we understand something we seem to be missing. I for one,...

I first met Sahtyre as this dude who walked up and introduced himself as, well, Sahtyre. I couldn't tell if he was being satirical.

Curly Castro is a man with a wolverine's growl, a samurai's sharpness, a nerd's layered comic book references, and a film buffs knowledge of characters and quotes. He is a key member of the Philidelphia based Wrecking Crew along with Zilla Rocca, Has-Lo, Small Professor, Castle and PremRock. He spits with fire, frustration and passion in every rhyme. He raises two ninja cats, has locks,...

Music Ruined My Life: Am I Bad Because I Listen To Pop Radio?

Having kids changes what you listen to because at their young age we can't instill our taste upon them. In the car they want to listen to their top 40 tunes; not the new Destroyer album I just grabbed. And as they get older and develop their own tastes for certain music, I...

Sister Crayon at The Echo - Echo Park, L.A. 7/16/15

Last night was one for the ages. For many people a great night out consists of getting shit-faced and waking up next to a stranger. God knows I've had my fair share of that kind of turnt. But last night I was reminded that a fucking awesome...

Favorite Albums - 2nd Quarter 2015

I dare anyone to say the second quarter of 2015 doesn't have huge luscious music balls dangling down against their forehead bro. As much as Top 40 radio wants us to believe there are only four songs available for your listening pleasure, WE ASSURE YOU BROS, THERE IS MUCH MUCH MORE.
